‘Priority to create awareness, expand ACAAI’s presence’

Chaitaly Mehta, Honorary Secretary, ACAAI, said, “ACAAI offers a platform to give back to the industry, whether through training, joining sub-committees to help the Trade or participating in various initiatives or programs. I would want to inspire members- old and new with next-gen to seize these opportunities. As the first woman to hold this role at ACAAI, I aim to build on its rich legacy, while bringing fresh energy and inclusivity. My focus is on teamwork, collaboration, and restoring ACAAI to its full glory — like polishing silver to reveal its brilliance. I am passionate about increasing women’s empowerment and participation across all levels, from Regional to the Board Level and encouraging more professionals, next gen and new entrepreneurs to actively contribute. I want to expand ACAAI’s presence through wherever possible new regional chapters and create greater awareness about work that ACAAI does for the trade. That is another key priority. My strategy is simple: collective effort, steady progress, and fostering a strong, collaborative team that works together to strengthen the air cargo industry.”
